Zebralens collection is divided into two sections: Rights Managed (formerly referred to as traditional licensing) and Royalty-Free . Images are placed into one of these two categories depending on its legal usage.
Rights Managed images are licensed for specific predefined usages, meaning that the client identifies how, where, and to what extent they would like to use an image(s) and the agency provides permission to reprint the image. The usage fees are based on the usage as requested. You are typically granted one-time usage rights (although we do offer time buys and unlimited usages), and you must follow Zebralens' Terms and Conditions for usage. You are not allowed to edit or alter the images unless authorized. By using rights managed, you are ensured that there is limited usage of the image; you can even request exclusive rights to an image to eliminate its simultaneous usage by other agencies and competitors.
